Apple Releases New Firmware for 140W USB-C Power Adapter, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad

As noted earlier in the thread, if you plug directly into a Mac that should invoke it immediately. For me it was a reboot, as I was only plugged into a charger, though the notes show they only need to be paired via BT for the update.

I plug it directly to one of the front facing usb ports on my Studio to charge it every time.

I tried turning the keyboard/trackpad off and back on and plugging them in a USB port in the back. I have no idea what triggered the update, but it looks like they're updated now.

The article states USB-C versions of these accessories, not the lightning ones.

It doesn't. It specifies USB-C for some. Others are lightning.

I'll happily wait right here while you find me the quote in the article that says lightning. There is only reference to USB-C.

I'm not sure if you're serious but just in case you are, here's the quote:
"Apple today released updated firmware for several accessories, including the 140W USB-C Power Adapter, the Magic Trackpad 2, the Magic Trackpad USB-C, the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, and the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad."
At least 1 item on this list is 100% lightning and the other 2 can be also lightning or usb-c but that's not clearly specified, so both could be assumed.

When I plug in a cable for my Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, the displayed version immediately jumps to 4.1.0. When I unplug the cable, the version changes back to 3.1.4. Could the keyboard have multiple firmwares, for each connection type, ie, bluetooth vs. usb-c cable?

Have the same but different versions. I have the Lightning version with Touch ID. The Bluetooth version number is 2.0.6. When I plug it into my Mac, the version is 4.2.0.

Update;
Android devices are still capped at 15W on the 140W charger on the new firmware.



I expected it but it's still a disappointment.
